I put together 11 easy tips you can start using right now to "germanize" your sound and speech a little more!

Learn German - with Deutsch Für Euch!
#LearnGerman #DeutschFürEuch #DFE

What you need to do to be my intro:
Record yourself saying the following things:
"Hallo Leute! Ich bin ___ (You can say whatever you want here - name, (youtube) nickname, where you live, where you're from, why you're learning German, or anything else you'd like, one or more things. It's best if you do this part in German, too, but if you're too shy, English is fine as well - just try to keep the video to roughly 10 seconds or shorter) und ihr seht Deutsch Für Euch!"
Please don't edit your videos; if you'd like something changed (e.g. color correction), let me know in your email. I'll make sure to make you look as good as possible anyway, though ;)
I can use a lot of video formats, but your safest bets are the usual candidates: .avi, .mov, .mp4 - DON'T use .dv, please. Once you're happy with your video, send it to me via ONE of these channels:
- attach the video to an email to dfekontakt@gmail.com
- send me a DropBox link/invite me to a folder (also dfekontakt@gmail.com)
- send me a link to a the video on RUclips, also via mail
- please title your message "DFE Intro"
There's NO time limit for this, this will be an on-going thing as long as you send me videos. I'm looking forward to your submissions - feel free to get creative with it! :)
Also, for English speakers, the glottal stop is the gap in the sound in the middle of "uh-oh", or how a lot of people pronounce "water" or "bottle" when speaking casually. It ends up more like "wa-uh" or "bo-ul", and that break between the two sounds is the glottal stop.
Danke. I'm learning German and I'm still not comfortable forming my own sentences, but I want to sound natural.
British people do that, but do Americans? I suspect they say warder and boddle.
The fact that German doesn't melt together the vowel sound at the end of a word with the vowel sound of the next word that begins with a vowel makes German very clear, distinct, and welcoming to the ear. For me, this is one of the reasons I love German so much.
👍🏆 championship sentiment!
P.S. re Lingoda: The Super Sprint is 90 days in a row, not 3 months with a possible day off. It's very tough to do, but I did it recently (07-Jan-2020 thru 05-Apr-2020) and succeeded, and they gave me back 100% of my money as promised. :-) But as you mentioned, even if I would have missed a lesson and not gotten the refund, it would still have been a terrific experience, as the teachers are great and the lessons structured well, and being "forced" to speak German everyday was incredibly useful.
This video was extremely helpful. As someone who's been learning German for years, I picked up on a lot of what you said you did a better job of explaining than I ever could! This was also my first video of yours that I've watched. I appreciate how you get straight to the point and don't waste time overexplaining. You have a new enthusiastic subscriber!
Great explanations! The whisper trick, wow... It really makes the glottal stop clear :)
Thanks for your video highlighting "how to sound more German." When I lived in Heidelberg, I'd been told that with daily modest use and practice, a person could become more comfortable with a new language in about 18-24 months on average. Sure enough, the 18-month mark was about right for me, when I stopped being completely self-conscious and spoke as normally as I could. To that end, it's very interesting looking back how I picked up at that time from friends and colleagues most of the tips you referred in this video. Thanks again!
That's a great video! Loving it. Studying speech reductions, dropped sounds etc. is super important when learning German. Good job, Katja! 😍👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much, Benjamin! Yeah, the devil's in the details :)
Ich liebe den Stakkato-Sound, habe seltsamerweise nie darauf geachtet. Vielen dank ❤️
hahahahaha danke schön fur the video!! hahahah since long time ago I'm been watching your YT videos and this is one of the best one! hahaha thanks for the information and very clear to explain!
Awesome awesome video, super helpful for those of us trying to not just speak written Hoch Deutsch and understand real German speakers! Dankeschön
Thank you for this video!
sehr hilfreiches und informatives video.
I missed your videos
My tip: if you're going to visit or live a certain area of Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, learn some local dialect/slang! I live in Berlin and work with lots of Handwerker, and I can't tell you how lost I was at first listening to locals talk using words that don't show up in the dictionary, or pronouncing words differently (like gucken - "keeken" or "hast du..." - "haste").
Don't feel bad; I was in Köln in '89 and could barely understand a blasted thing!
Katja, sie sind sehr sehr klug! 🙄🤯😊 Great video!! It's winter in New Zealand, but loving the summery look.
Hi, I really like your videos. Thanks
Hallo von Wiesbaden. Es ist gut to see someone teaching our many dialects.
Ich liebe deine RUclips-Seite.
Have a fun day und stay safe Zuhause von COVID if ya can.
Auf Wiedersehen...smiles
I’ve been doing this for awhile and it really does help you fit in. Germans will definitely start to tell you boah das war sowas von Deutsch 😂
Tolles Intro.^^
Danke schön 👍🏻
Katja danke für immer,that explanation wouldn't let us look newly dropped off from the plane, o como decimos por aca "con el zacate en el pico" 🤣🤣🤣🤣, vamos a sonar de primera categoria👌👌
I liked the whispering.... ;)
Du macht sehr gute Videos.
enjoyed the asmr
I realized that some Germans will almost drop the "e" in certain German verbs that end with "---sehen". That is, they almost drop the final "e", especially if that final e is before the letter n.
So, zum Beispiel...
"sehen" (to see) would be "seh'n".
And "wiedersehen" (to see again) would be "wiederseh'n".
And "fernsehen" (to watch television) would be "fernseh'n".
How about that?
Жду не дождусь!
Hey Katja! Great video! But two questions: 1) about the ending "e" by first person, what if the ich comes after the verb, instead of "ich find(e) was..." vs. "Das finde ich .. " , would the "e" be pronounced? 2) And about the glottal stop, what about composite words, like " Spielanspruch", would the "A" be also stressed with the glottal stop? Thanks! The best channel for german learning
U normally drop the e if ich follows the word
Ich muss dieses Video viele sehen!!!
I wish I knew all of these before I started my A1 course.
I love German, and how it sounds, especially in women :D. Cheers from Mexico.
Hey Katja, great video. It has left me curious over two things. Firstly the "weil/hauptsatz". Is this common amongst non english speaking Germans? Secondly, this is the first iv ever heard that one should be using the perfect for the past an not the imperfect.
i have a group of Schwäbisch friends who have told me that i should be flexible with both... Is this a regional thing?
BTW im diggin the onion top :P
It is, though you're probably right to assume that English probably had an influence (I'm just speculating, too, though). But this has now bled into usage regardless of the speaker's knowledge of English afaik; this also fits the fact that there is no other conjunction (yet) with which we do this.
Oh! Well, you should definitely take a look at tenses again then, the Perfekt is super important in spoken language especially. Iirc the episode I made on it is number 69.
Nobody will correct you on your use of Perfekt or Imperfekt though, because in the vast majority of cases, they are perfectly interchangeable. You will probably just sound weird/foreign to a native speaker if you use the Imperfekt a lot.
Heat stoke? It's going to his 113F here in Tucson, AZ
Vielleicht wichtig - Normalerweise wenn man einen neuen Hauptsatzteil mit "weil" leitet, macht man nach dem Wort "weil" eine kurze Pause und betont das Wort stärker als sonst. Ich bin noch nicht zur Schule gegangen, WEIL... ich habe meine Hausaufgabe noch nicht gefunden. Die Stimme geht auch hoch am Anfang des Wortes.
This is the channel that you gives a like even not seeing the video yet, lol
Awesomeee
Does this apply to casual texting? Maybe if you can do one on how Germans casually text each other, especially the younger people.
I've stumbled upon something with Queen King Beauregard's kid's pronunciation, maybe. It seems to me that American pronunciation involves a mouth that is almost egg-shaped, like an egg standing on its end. Turn the egg 90 degrees so it is lying on its side, and many German sounds are easier to pronounce properly.
That is a very interesting observation that I can neither confirm nor deny intuitively, will have to observe :D
Hey Katja, next month I'm going to Austria for the first time, any tips for getting used to understanding a different accent?
Hey, I don't where specifically in Austria you're going to be. But I can recommend to look for the social media channels of the city or its newspapers. There you can find videos with native speakers
More ASMR! 😁
We need more story time I think
Me encanta tu chocoyo de la barbilla preciosa, everything is good thank you for your great counseling...just!(here comes the expectation words)why you pronounce sometimes "ich" as "sh" in english and others like a glutter sound? How's the correct way to do it ?(to not sound like newly tourist at Berlin)
Check out DFE episode 52, it's explained in detail there :)
@@DeutschFuerEuch Mil gracias muñequita preciosa, angelita encantadora.i'm going to keep that episode stored in my library , although got to study hard because the more i learn,the more questions coming.my deep appreciations katja, Saludos!!!
Omg, it's very releasing to hear that weil+Hauptsatz is getting more common.
Ich mache mir keine Sorgen mehr!
Adriana C. Bitte nicht. Das triggert mich total :)
Calling your hair red onion was really funny!! :))))))
Genial liebe frau. Woher kommen sie?, ich meine aus welcher Stadt?
This is going to be hard for me to pronounce the German R, I have a soft palate tremor, which is the spot in your throat where the glottal R is produced
Regarding the -en ending: have you ever been to Breem? :p
Hahahaha so true
Du solltest definitiv ASMR-Videos machen :)
Bin mal schockiert, dass du...benutzt untergeordnete Wortreihenfolge nicht, und das auch in einem Video; d.h. in der Nur ein Scherz!
Guten Tag Kaiser von Katja, looks like you Need some air condition. Anyway, can you tell me what is the difference between the German W, And V. They sound the same. Like the Serbo-Croatian Č, and Ć
I can! Watch episode 51 :)
Learn German - Deutsch für Euch thanks, also i hit the like Button before I even watched your video
@@Dr-Alexander-The-Great das ist sehr nett von dir, danke :)
Learn German - Deutsch für Euch bitte schön.
Eine Geschiche niveau b1 bitte
Franken hat auch eine Zungen-R.
wheres your video to help me with "ausgezeichnet"?
Why isn't the g in 'richtig' pronounced like a k?
Nach fast zehn Jahren, kann ich nicht das Deutsche R sagen, aber ich roll der R mit den Zunge, aber "Übung macht meister".
Einfach nach Franken ziehen und Dein Zungen-R passt perfekt. 😉
@@donbambo nein, sie rollen genauso wie die Deutsch. Ich habe desselbe Problem mit Französisch.
Hier liegt ein Missverständnis vor. Fränkisch ist ein deutscher Dialekt.
@@donbambo ah, Franconia auf Englisch, du hast da recht. Tut mir leid.
ASMR teh w1n!
ich love du : ) und ich habe eine frage: hast du Freund. ich liebe dich sehr aus Stuttgart
Velar "R" is same as French "R"....
It is! That's where we got it from :)
Another sentence to practice your glottal stops: In dieser Abteilung arbeiten alle im Akkord.
Prima
More whispering in German would be nice...
Tell me honestly ,, how much time does it take for this entire video for you to make ? start to end ... Must be a lot of work if you are doing it all yourself.
The german r is the french r... :)
ASMR bitte!
kevin
Hast du "separato" gesagt ? ahah
Staccato :)
ahm, hat ?
guten eins
Better title how to sound more cold blooded
Do you teach? With a cute Lehrerin I will have more motivation to keep on learning hahaha
funny, you speak American English until you say "but", which you say British. I like.
Hablas demasiado en english ! wir like to speak german
Where is the “VolllllllIdiot” video?
Yes, but Hitler didn't pronounce the rrrrh, he clearly pronounced it the Czech/Russian/Italian way, so even some Germans, of course not only Hitler, didn't pronounce it the traditional way. There are some accents like that, so I guess if you have a really hard time pronouncing that, you don't necessarily sound foreign, just not Hochdeutsch, which isn't as big a deal as sounding just foreign.
Well, the thing with overpronunciation shouldn't really be a problem for decent English speakers, or at least people who have mastered the English phonetics to a certain degree, as English is a striking example of than phenomenon. You never overpronounce endings, so why would you all of a sudden do it in a foreign language. So English speakers, just keep your old habits of your native language (or mastered second language for that matter). This should only really be an issue to the speakers of, say, Russian, Czech, Italian, other Slavic languages and some more which I have no idea about. If it still is a problem, Just don't make a big deal of pronouncing correctly and it will come automatically.
Need @ wife
I miss you
You sound like an American.
